"I am quite sure that it is not the farm workers involved in this strike, its people from Stofland and other areas. I am sure there is a political motive to this strike as well because nobody wants to take responsibility for the strike, and no one wants to come forward and speak to us."

Protestor and farm worker Lunga Yanda said, "The people who organised this don't want to come out. Since we started these negotiations there was no third force so I cannot say whether there is a third force."

One protester has told Eyewitness News they want their daily wage to be doubled to R150 as they were battling to make ends meet.

"We want R150. We're getting R70 a day, that money is not enough for living."

Non-government Organisation, Women on Farms, rubbished suggestions that a third force is behind the De Doorns farm workers strike.

Women's on Farms project's Colette Solomons criticised those who claimed a third party is involved.

"There is no third party. We have talked to the workers and they have told us themselves that this has been completely spontaneous."
